Arches was one of my first loves in the Southwest. I've since moved on, but I spent many a week during the summer, spring and at Christmas in the area. As you spend time in some places, you start to realize that there are a limited number of places to shoot nice pictures from. Arches is one of those places. There's only so many angles you can shoot the prominent arches from. Then it's a matter of combining those scenes with fantastic atmospheric conditions. That's why I've come to love other places more, like Coyote Buttes, Valley of Fire, and White Pocket. They are places where there is a picture everywhere and nowhere at the same time. There are so many more ways to "interpret" such areas than there are places like Arches. That said, there is no drive I like better than the one through Arches, and no greater spectacle than Delicate Arch.
